Late at night, Kumogakure Headquarters. "Lord Dodai, intelligence has arrived from the Seventh Squad!" "Speak." Dodai listened to his subordinate's report as he drafted documents, all while continuously issuing orders to people on the other side. Dodai was a middle-aged man who wore a hood and sported a small beard on his chin. He was an exceptionally capable strategist. With a reckless brute for a superior, a great many of Kumogakure's affairs were actually handled by him, the Raikage's Retainer and chief advisor.
